Description

The NWO Domain Board Science has approved nineteen grant applications in the Open Competition Domain Science-M programme. The topics vary from the search for dark matter with gravitational waves and improving the safety of robot-assisted surgical procedures, to studying cognitive flexibility and the prediction and prevention of colorectal cancer.

M-grants are intended for innovative, high-quality, fundamental research and/or studies involving matters of scientific urgency.

The following applications have been approved:

How growth drives the cell division cycle
Dr. Andreas Milias-Argeitis  (RUG)
Cell growth and division are fundamental processes, whose proper coordination is essential for cell viability and the health of an organism. However, we still do not fully understand how this coordination arises. In this project, we will investigate how the proteins that regulate cell growth are also able to affect key events of the division cycle. To this end, we will generate a detailed map of these interactions via a combination of single-cell experiments and mathematical modeling. Our work will contribute to the understanding of fundamental cellular processes which are ultimately linked with human health.

About the NWO Open Competition Domain Science-M

M-grants are intended for realising curiosity-driven, fundamental research of high quality and/or scientific urgency. The M-grant offers researchers the possibility to elaborate creative and risky ideas and to realise scientific innovations that can form the basis for the research themes of the future. There are three categories of M-grants: M-1 (one scientific position), M-2 (two scientific positions in collaboration) and M-invest (investments) that are assessed in competition with each other.

In this M-round (package 21-5), a total of 72 grant applications were evaluated, of which 40 M-1 proposals, 31 M-2 proposals and 1 M-invest proposal. The NWO Domain Science Board decided to award 10 M-1 proposals and 9 M-2 proposals.
